Woolly maggots, nature-destroyers – sheep are criticised by many conservationists for denuding Britain’s uplands of rare plants and trees.

So The Wildlife Trusts were shocked when they were compelled to buy 4,000 sheep as part of the biggest land restoration project in England.

The flock were part of the deal to buy the first “big chunk” of the 3,850-hectare (9,500-acre) Rothbury estate in Northumberland last autumn, the largest land sale in England for 30 years.
